Allegedly retired serial entrepreneur, co–author of The Startup Owners Manual, Bob Dorf is likely the second most knowledgeable
Customer Development expert on the planet, second only to its developer
and Godfather, Steve Blank. Together the two spent nearly two years
conceiving, outlining, drafting, rewriting, and revising the global
bestseller, The Startup Owner's Manual, now a business bestseller in the U.S. and many countries around the world.

A serial entrepreneur, Bob left a lucrative
broadcasting job at the age of 22 because he had a passion to start his
own company, which he did seven times over three decades. Bob’s track
record as a founder, as he says: “two home runs, two base hits, and
three great tax losses.”

Bob invested in and coached or advised more than
two dozen startups over more than a decade. Seven of them IPO’ed, while
six went “straight into the toilet.” In all, he says, “an incredible 42
year entrepreneurial education!”

Bob travels the world, helping startups,
incubators, governments, and established corporations learn how to
effectively deploy Customer Development process through speaking,
workshops, and in intensive 8-10 week hands-on Startup Boot Camps. His
training takes many forms, including speeches, workshops, and hands — on
consulting.
